Death by Doxie : Ferdi's Haircut

It's Summer here in Seoul and as much as I adore Ferdi's fluffy hair which often looks a little like he's over done it with the crimper, it really doesn't suit these hot humid days. With all his hair Ferdi looks quite miserable as soon it gets a bit sultry, he starts panting just walking to his food bowl. So the Summer shave is a necessity. Really. 

It's just a side benefit that he looks so hilariously cute that I get weeks and weeks of entertainment, quietly chuckling to myself whenever I see him. Oh, and the puffy lions tail? That's the groomer being artistic - I'm not so cruel as to actually ask for that...(am I paranoid or is he rolling his eyes at me a little in that second photo?). 


Here's a before shot for comparison:

    I agree that it's a necessity. They need to stay cool as well. It's been so HOT here, upper 90s (almost 100). We bathed the boys outside the other day to cool them off. Win, win for all involved!

      Before I became doxie obsessed I used to have kelpies - they loved a good hose down on a hot Summer's day! The dachshunds aren't too keen though...

    He looks quite handsome and somewhat proud of his little puffy tail!

    We are having another 38C/101F+ day today... We aren't long hairs, but if we were, we'd be asking for a pretty hair cut like yours!! Keep very cool!!!

      Hello Shelle, Milo, Dixie and Newby (I wonder what it's like being a family of FOUR dachshunds?!) - do you ever go for a swim to cool down? Ferdi isn't a swimmer but the few times we've let Elfi loose in the water she's loved it!

    He does look very handsome but he looks as though he's wondering what happened to himself! Very cute :)

    What a difference a haircut makes! (you remind me that I need to have one myself) ... haha, I love that puffy lion tail ... a dog that not only provides love and companionship, but giggles as well is surely a most wonderful canine friend.
